1 Now when Jacob <03290> saw <07200> (8799) that there was <03426> corn <07668> in Egypt <04714>, Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) unto his sons <01121>, Why do ye look <07200> (8691) one upon another?
2 And he said <0559> (8799), Behold, I have heard <08085> (8804) that there is <03426> corn <07668> in Egypt <04714>: get you down <03381> (8798) thither, and buy <07666> (8798) for us from thence; that we may live <02421> (8799), and not die <04191> (8799).
3 And Joseph#s <03130> ten <06235> brethren <0251> went down <03381> (8799) to buy <07666> (8800) corn <01250> in Egypt <04714>.
4 But Benjamin <01144>, Joseph#s <03130> brother <0251>, Jacob <03290> sent <07971> (8804) not with his brethren <0251>; for he said <0559> (8804), Lest peradventure <06435> mischief <0611> befall him <07122> (8799) .
5 And the sons <01121> of Israel <03478> came <0935> (8799) to buy <07666> (8800) corn among <08432> those that came <0935> (8802): for the famine <07458> was in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
6 And Joseph <03130> was the governor <07989> over the land <0776>, and he it was that sold <07666> (8688) to all the people <05971> of the land <0776>: and Joseph#s <03130> brethren <0251> came <0935> (8799), and bowed down <07812> (8691) themselves before him with their faces <0639> to the earth <0776>.
7 And Joseph <03130> saw <07200> (8799) his brethren <0251>, and he knew <05234> (8686) them, but made himself strange <05234> (8691) unto them, and spake <01696> (8762) roughly <07186> unto them; and he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Whence <0370> come <0935> (8804) ye? And they said <0559> (8799), From the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> to buy <07666> (8800) food <0400>.
8 And Joseph <03130> knew <05234> (8686) his brethren <0251>, but they knew <05234> (8689) not him.
9 And Joseph <03130> remembered <02142> (8799) the dreams <02472> which he dreamed <02492> (8804) of them, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye are spies <07270> (8764); to see <07200> (8800) the nakedness <06172> of the land <0776> ye are come <0935> (8804).
10 And they said <0559> (8799) unto him, Nay, my lord <0113>, but to buy <07666> (8800) food <0400> are thy servants <05650> come <0935> (8804).
11 We <05168> are all one <0259> man#s <0376> sons <01121>; we are true <03651> men, thy servants <05650> are no spies <07270> (8764).
12 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Nay, but to see <07200> (8800) the nakedness <06172> of the land <0776> ye are come <0935> (8804).
13 And they said <0559> (8799), Thy servants <05650> are twelve <08147> <06240> brethren <0251> , the sons <01121> of one <0259> man <0376> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and, behold, the youngest <06996> is this day <03117> with our father <01>, and one <0259> is not.
14 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8799) unto them, That is it that I spake <01696> (8765) unto you, saying <0559> (8800), Ye are spies <07270> (8764):
15 Hereby <02063> ye shall be proved <0974> (8735): By the life <02416> of Pharaoh <06547> ye shall not go forth <03318> (8799) hence, except your youngest <06996> brother <0251> come <0935> (8800) hither.
16 Send <07971> (8798) one <0259> of you, and let him fetch <03947> (8799) your brother <0251>, and ye shall be kept in prison <0631> (8734), that your words <01697> may be proved <0974> (8735), whether there be any truth <0571> in <0854> you: or else <03808> by the life <02416> of Pharaoh <06547> surely ye are spies <07270> (8764).
17 And he put them all together <0622> (8799) into ward <04929> three <07969> days <03117>.
18 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8799) unto them the third <07992> day <03117>, This do <06213> (8798), and live <02421> (8798); for I fear <03373> God <0430>:
19 If ye be true <03651> men, let one <0259> of your brethren <0251> be bound <0631> (8735) in the house <01004> of your prison <04929>: go <03212> (8798) ye, carry <0935> (8685) corn <07668> for the famine <07459> of your houses <01004>:
20 But bring <0935> (8686) your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto me; so shall your words <01697> be verified <0539> (8735), and ye shall not die <04191> (8799). And they did <06213> (8799) so.
21 And they said <0559> (8799) one <0376> to another <0251>, We are verily <061> guilty <0818> concerning our brother <0251>, in that <0834> we saw <07200> (8804) the anguish <06869> of his soul <05315>, when he besought <02603> (8692) us, and we would not hear <08085> (8804); therefore is this distress <06869> come <0935> (8804) upon us.
22 And Reuben <07205> answered <06030> (8799) them, saying <0559> (8800), Spake I <0559> (8804) not unto you, saying <0559> (8800), Do not sin <02398> (8799) against the child <03206>; and ye would not hear <08085> (8804)? therefore, behold, also his blood <01818> is required <01875> (8738).
23 And they knew <03045> (8804) not that Joseph <03130> understood <08085> (8802) them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter <03887> (8688).
24 And he turned himself about <05437> (8735) from them, and wept <01058> (8799); and returned to them again <07725> (8799), and communed <01696> (8762) with them, and took <03947> (8799) from them Simeon <08095>, and bound <0631> (8799) him before their eyes <05869>.
25 Then Joseph <03130> commanded <06680> (8762) to fill <04390> (8762) their sacks <03627> with corn <01250>, and to restore <07725> (8687) every man#s <0376> money <03701> into his sack <08242>, and to give <05414> (8800) them provision <06720> for the way <01870>: and thus <03651> did he <06213> (8799) unto them.
26 And they laded <05375> (8799) their asses <02543> with the corn <07668>, and departed <03212> (8799) thence.
27 And as one <0259> of them opened <06605> (8799) his sack <08242> to give <05414> (8800) his ass <02543> provender <04554> in the inn <04411>, he espied <07200> (8799) his money <03701>; for, behold, it was in his sack#s <0572> mouth <06310>.
28 And he said <0559> (8799) unto his brethren <0251>, My money <03701> is restored <07725> (8717); and, lo <02009>, it is even in my sack <0572>: and their heart <03820> failed <03318> (8799) them, and they were afraid <02729> (8799), saying <0559> (8800) one <0376> to another <0251>, What is this that God <0430> hath done <06213> (8804) unto us?
29 And they came <0935> (8799) unto Jacob <03290> their father <01> unto the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> , and told <05046> (8686) him all that befell <07136> (8802) unto them; saying <0559> (8800),
30 The man <0376>, who is the lord <0113> of the land <0776>, spake <01696> (8765) roughly <07186> to us, and took <05414> (8799) us for spies <07270> (8764) of the country <0776>.
31 And we said <0559> (8799) unto him, We are true <03651> men; we are no spies <07270> (8764):
32 We be twelve <06240> <08147> brethren <0251>, sons <01121> of our father <01>; one <0259> is not, and the youngest <06996> is this day <03117> with our father <01> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
33 And the man <0376>, the lord <0113> of the country <0776>, said <0559> (8799) unto us, Hereby shall I know <03045> (8799) that ye are true <03651> men; leave <03240> (8685) one <0259> of your brethren <0251> here with me, and take <03947> (8798) food for the famine <07459> of your households <01004>, and be gone <03212> (8798):
34 And bring <0935> (8685) your youngest <06996> brother <0251> unto me: then shall I know <03045> (8799) that ye are no spies <07270> (8764), but that ye are true <03651> men: so will I deliver <05414> (8799) you your brother <0251>, and ye shall traffick <05503> (8799) in the land <0776>.
35 And it came to pass as they emptied <07324> (8688) their sacks <08242>, that, behold, every man#s <0376> bundle <06872> of money <03701> was in his sack <08242>: and when both they and their father <01> saw <07200> (8799) the bundles <06872> of money <03701>, they were afraid <03372> (8799).
36 And Jacob <03290> their father <01> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Me have ye bereaved <07921> (8765) of my children: Joseph <03130> is not, and Simeon <08095> is not, and ye will take <03947> (8799) Benjamin <01144> away: all these things are against me.
37 And Reuben <07205> spake <0559> (8799) unto his father <01>, saying <0559> (8800), Slay <04191> (8686) my two <08147> sons <01121>, if I bring <0935> (8686) him not to thee: deliver <05414> (8798) him into my hand <03027>, and I will bring him to thee again <07725> (8686).
38 And he said <0559> (8799), My son <01121> shall not go down <03381> (8799) with you; for his brother <0251> is dead <04191> (8804), and he is left <07604> (8738) alone: if mischief <0611> befall <07122> (8804) him by the way <01870> in the which ye go <03212> (8799), then shall ye bring down <03381> (8689) my gray hairs <07872> with sorrow <03015> to the grave <07585>.
